ERIBA is a research Institute that addresses fundamental biological problems aimed to better understand what causes ageing. We study the mechanisms that result in loss of cells with age and the decline in functioning of old cells and tissues.

ERIBA aims to become a world-class research Institute, internationally renowned for its cutting-edge basic science. We use collaborative, multi-disciplinary, technology-oriented approaches that include next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics, flow cytometry, live cell imaging and studies of suitable genetic model systems.

We are home to top-level scientists of all levels of seniority. In our studies and publications quality prevails over quantity. We aim to explore uncharted territory and embark on high-risk projects that can yield major breakthroughs. Staff scientists collaborate with fellow scientists in ERIBA and its affiliated local and distant Institutions.

Aspiring scientists will find that ERIBA provides an excellent training platform that prepares them very well for the internationally competitive field of life sciences in the 21st century.
ERIBA scientists participate in programs aimed to disseminate knowledge related to the biology of ageing in the society at large. ERIBA researchers are contacted by journalists to comment on novel research findings, and advice politicians and policy-makers in general. Teaching programs for high school students and teachers are implemented. On the ground floor the ERIBA Science Hall hosts a permanent exposition exhibiting research activities of staff scientists (www.eribasciencehall.nl).
